"It is my hope that every member feels empowered and aligned with understanding the laws of the universe," said a triumphant Leslie Draper, "when you connect with other similar people, and you all pray and hold energy for the same goal. It is powerful. It's magic."

And it's been raining all day here in New York City, too. Perhaps we have nothing to worry about re: climate change, after all. *Posts 1,000 rain dance memes on Facebook.*
